#dtk12chat Archive

Please join us for a weekly conversation about design thinking in K12 education. We will have a variety of moderators with a wide range and depth of design thinking experiences. Each week, we will connect the dots to the design thinking methodology and how it can and will play a bigger role in today’s K12 educational arena.

    What a gift it was to lead an amazing group of educators through a design challenge that helped us imagine real tangible ways we might educate for #Reconciliation. We were left with a sense of hope that this IS possible. ⁦@sj_bartlett⁩ ⁦@crconsortium#dtk12chat

    A1 I had to create an 3-d model of the atom in physical science. Up till then, I had never done that and did not get # of protons/neutrons. After creating model, I got it and majored in chemistry as a result #dtk12chat I loved chemistry after that challenge
  • mexusmx Aug 22 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A1: a semester of nothing but Shakespeare with an incredibly talented thespian/teacher. #dtk12chat
  • LSpencerEdD Aug 22 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A1: I didn’t have a lot of memorable learning in HS, but I had one teacher who exposed us to world lit, and loved to debate current event issues. #dtk12chat
  • BryanLakatos - Moderator Aug 22 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A1: Coming to terms / bringing myself into alignment with my precalc teacher's methods and style. For sure. #dtk12chat

    A1: my HS didn’t do any memorable design challenges it was pretty much “sit and get” type instruction with an exception of an “applied biology” class where we a few project activities. #dtk12chat
  • LindseyOwn - Moderator Aug 22 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    Errrmmm... “learning challenge”? I’m not sure I had anything in high school that could take that label. 🤨 #dtk12chat
  • lndeutsch - Moderator Aug 22 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    I often think they had it down more in the 70s and 90s. left out 80s cuz i didn’t have a very positive experience in high school. then along came no child left behind. #dtk12chat

  • LSpencerEdD Aug 22 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    A2: I learned that I needed to be challenged. School wasn’t giving me that, but I could find it on my own. #dtk12chat
  • scibri Aug 22 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    A2 I learned that I could teach myself and that I could be a better researcher. I learned that I was controlled my learning, not the teacher. It was empowering especially since I did not enjoy the teacher #dtk12chat
  • CREATOMbuilder Aug 22 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    A1. A learning challenge was physics and figuring out that I was stronger at building the models than parsing theory and formulas. Good thing I had a good lab partner #dtk12chat

    Q2 I thought having the “best” ideas meant arguing for, & then voting for your ideas. This was the beginning of understanding synthesis, & about not just finding the right partners, by being the right partner #dtk12chat
  • scibri Aug 22 @ 9:26 PM EDT
    I think that was such a great revelation for you. #dtk12chat It makes a difference when S learn about challenging themselves if the adults are not challenging them

  • WickedDecent - Moderator Aug 22 @ 9:26 PM EDT
    A2 self worth. It was huge. I felt like I could contribute to something, even if that something was kinda confusing and some days it felt like we were just stuffing envelopes. But that was all part of it. #dtk12chat

    A2: I knew that I needed realistic projects and assignments. I wasn't connecting with the content anymore, my grades weren't as strong, and I didn't have the motivation or love for learning that I had early in my education. #dtk12chat

    A6: Honest, caring conversations about them as unique individuals. Stop with the “good job” and give constructive feedback for growth #dtk12chat

    In my experience, many of them have never figured out their interests. With a traditional school experience, they haven't had to - it hasn't been about them. :/ #dtk12chat

    #dtk12chat A6) Practice, practice, practice identifying the needs of others and then turn the lens inward. Requires time and a safe space.

    Agreed on the depth and the challenge, but it’s a challenging, organic challenge that Ss can engage in no matter their “level.” Reading on grade level isn’t a prerequisite for empathy, reflection & action. Why I love DT in school. #dtk12chat

    In my credential program (‘93) I was told human connection didn’t matter. I’ve argued about this with educators in the past. Good to see this has shifted/is shifting. #DTK12CHAT

    A3: I think it's more critical with this generation that we make learning authentic and connected to the hyper-connected world they live in. These Ss know about what's going on in the world, see kids their age doing amazing things, and desire to make an impact. #dtk12chat
  • Ed_by_design Aug 22 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    "good job" = evaluative and empty...like grades. "I see you struggled with ... X. Can you tell me how you worked through it?" is feedback. Substantive and probing. #dtk12chat

    Truth! They have had education done on them. We have to change the system #dtk12chat That is why I find DT so empowering as an instructor. Our S are struggling with our new method. But I know it is worth it in the end #dtk12chat

    A6. I find that making the curriculum more transparent and allow students some space for co-designing the learning engages students as designers. Having students develop their own rubrics and best practices (5th grade +) can create more ownership #dtk12chat

    It gives them a sense of direction, purpose. And from there, they can start to see needs not as a negative, but as a step in the journey #dtk12chat

    Hmmmm good one. My approach is more about values. There is often a confusion or a conflict when there is a values mismatch. I saw a interesting exercise... Write for as long as you can to finish ´I am a person who....' That is the inner story other people interact w/ #dtk12chat

    Is human connection really most things these days? #dtk12chat I tell S life is not about how much you know but more about who you know that can help you

    Q6: When we create real world challenges for our Ss, are the challenges from their real world or ours? Ss will solve problems with great passion if they are relevant to them. Concede that your project design may not include their input. #dtk12chat
